Kamala Harris was in Asheville, NC on Wednesday for a vote mobilization event, but almost nobody showed up.

The cameras, upon zooming out and panning around at the get-out the vote event, showed just six people present. If there were more people attending, they did not appear on camera, and crowd sounds were not audible.

According to Brietbart, the Asheville event had had to be rescheduled due to concerns when two members of Harris's staff tested positive for the novel coronavirus. The campaign claimed they limited the number of people in attendance at the event.

A similar event in Charlotte was also postponed for the same reasons.  Harris is due to speak in that city, less than two hours from Asheville, later on Wednesday.

North Carolina is considered to be a hotly contested state in the upcoming presidential elections.

Harris in her speech talked about the pandemic, saying that it revealed what was wrong with the nation in many ways, while also criticizing the way it was handled by the Trump administration.

She also talked about issues such as the vacant Supreme Court seat, which Republicans want to fill with Amy Coney Barrett and Democrats want to leave vacant as long as possible.

The crowd was estimated at 25 people according to ABC 13.

Note: An earlier version of this article did not specify that the audience was limited by the campaign. Additionally, we claimed there were approximately 10 people at the event. A local source claimed there were 25. The article has been updated to reflect this information.

The mother of a senior aide to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani owns a high-value home in Tennessee, despite the aide having previously said that homeownership is a “weapon of white supremacy.” Cea Weaver, the director of Mamdani’s Office to Protect Tenants, is the daughter of Celia Applegate, a professor of German studies at Vanderbilt University. Applegate owns a craftsman-style home south of Nashville that was purchased in 2012 and is now valued at more than $1.6 million. The property is approximately 3,400 square feet and includes three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The real estate holdings have attracted scrutiny because of Weaver’s past public comments on housing and property ownership. In a 2019 social media post, Weaver wrote, “Private property including any kind of ESPECIALLY homeownership is a weapon of white supremacy.” Weaver has also expressed hostility toward landlords and private property more broadly. In 2024, she said the city should “seize private property” if deemed necessary, and in a 2018 post she wrote, “There is no such thing as a ‘good’ gentrifier, only people who are actively working on projects to dismantle white supremacy and capitalism and people who aren’t.” A report by the New York Post noted that Nashville has ranked among the most gentrified cities in the United States in recent years, adding to criticism surrounding Applegate’s ownership of a high-end home in the area. On Tuesday, Mamdani defended his decision to appoint Weaver, telling reporters, “We made the decision to have Cea Weaver serve as our executive director for the mayor’s office to protect tenants.” Weaver previously worked for the progressive advocacy group Housing Justice for All, which promotes housing as a human right. When announcing her appointment, Mamdani said Weaver would “hold landlords accountable.” The controversy mirrors criticism Mamdani himself has faced over his personal background, including a childhood of luxury living in Manhattan and a high-end wedding in Uganda last year. Critics argue these circumstances reflect a broader pattern in which prominent socialist figures in the US have come from affluent backgrounds yet simultaneously advocate for policies hostile to wealth and private property.
